The Yamaha MC-1X /
MC-1S : The Genius of Advanced Microelectrics for True Sound Quality.
Yamaha is founded on
a dedication to music in all its forms. Our long experience as a leading
manufacturer of musical instruments has made sensitivity to musical sound a
habit hard to break. Our uniqueness gives rise to the originality clearly
reflected in the reliable Natural Sound performance of every Yamaha high
fidelity product.
And not, with the
introduction of the MC-1X/MC-1S cartridges, our Natural Sound Fidelity extends
across the entire audio reproduction range, from input to output. Like all our
high fidelity products, our new carteidges are the result of an enduring relation
ship between musicans and audio engineers. Our designers and engineers are
encouraged to create the kind of high fidelity products they want for
themselves. With the result, at all times, being a total Dedication to Musical
Excellence.
Light, Solid
Integrated Moving Structure
the stylus is a
solid chip of diamond, 0,1 mm square, polished to a special elliptical contour
so that the harder crystalline axis may always be in contact with the record
surface. It is then fitted into the hole in the tubular beryllium cantilever
and bonded firmly. Vibrations from musical signals travel only through solid
bodies – from the diamond stylus through the beryllium cantilever to the
silicone coil. Sound is always rich and pure.
Precision One-Point
Suspension.
To more sharply
define the fulcrum of vibration, we've suspended the cantilever by a special
piano wire in the one-point suspension system. The piano wire itself is firmly
connected to the solid brass holder for precise tension; the butyl rubber
damper hugs the cantilever, retaining its resiliency in any ambient mode for
many years.
